According to a press release from HBO Max, the episode of AEW Collision scheduled for March 21st will be divided into two parts, airing on two consecutive nights due to the 2026 NCAA Men's Basketball March Madness tournament, which begins on March 17th.
The two one-hour episodes will be themed “Slam Dunk Saturday” and “Slam Dunk Sunday.” The first episode will air on Saturday, March 21st, at 11 PM ET on TNT and HBO Max. The second episode will follow on Sunday, March 22nd, also at 11 PM ET on both TNT and HBO Max.
These episodes will be taped alongside the live episode of Dynamite on March 18th, held at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California. AEW Dynamite will continue to air in its regular time slot at 8 PM ET on TBS and HBO Max.
Last year's Slam Dunk Saturday and Sunday events were fully available for AEW Plus subscribers on Sunday. It is currently unclear whether the same access will be granted to AEW Plus subscribers this year. Similar to last year, this year's show will be taped in advance during the AEW Dynamite taping on the Wednesday prior.
